MS team and life. We hope our Sc
lectmen will try to remedy the trouble.
Yesterday was a grand day in the
churches of this village. After early
services in the vestry of the
NJ. Z. church, Mr.. McGann conduct
ed services in the Cong. church, and
Rev. Mr.. Donaldson, presiding elder,
at the NJ. E. church. The meeting
under the direction of Mr.. McGann
was most excellent, quite a number
rising for prayers for the first time.
Mr.. Donaldson preached a sermon
specially adapted to the time and not
in many years has so large a number
partaken of the sacrament. Several
persons were taken into the church
by letter
At the village school meeting,
Tuesday night, F. W. Baldwin was
chosen moderator John l. Twombly,
clerk; H. c. Pierce. treasurer; ID.
p. Gordon, o. ID. Owen and W. W.
Miles, committee. 1t was voted to
accept the provisions of the Act of
1886 relative to the amalgamation of
the Academy and Graded School
The Academy organization is there
by thrown up. 1t was voted TO have
three terms of school of II weeks
each and 4 grades of school. The
financial condition of the district is
satisfactory, the debts being all paid,
and money sufficient to pay the ex-
penses of the spring terms. \ tax
of 81 cents on a dollar was raised.
The religious meetings, under the
direction of Willie Mccain, are to
be continued through the week, per-
haps to close next Sunday. The work
has gone on quietly, but a large num-
her. probably not less than seventy,
have made a start toward a better
life. There is an excellent feeling in
the whole community, and never a
better opportunity for a work that
shall embrace hundreds more. 1t is
earnestly hoped that many who have
not vet been present may be seen in
the meetings this week. The invita-
ton is general and most cordial.
Meetings will be held afternoons and
evenings during the week, at 215 and
Z O'Clock. The following will be the
topics used by Mr.. Mccain in the
evenings: Monday, Five Silly Girls
Tuesday, Who is Ny Neighbor; We'd
nesday. How -Four Men Changed the
Fashion Of the Day; Thursday, If;
Friday, He: Saturday, The Way to
God.
HARD" CIDER.-Three fellows rom a
neighboring town. the worse for liquor,
and in pursuit of mischief, made consid
cradle disturbance round this village last
Sunday night, and on Monday they were
arrested and brought before Justice Bar
nard. They preferred 10 plead guilty
and settle up without extra cost or trouble.
During the time of the trial it turned out
that two others had been seen in a state
of intoxication few days previously and
II was felt that no partiality should be
shown. They were also called in and
fined. 1t costs about SO for the cheap
est sort of a legal drunk. Each party
was sworn and asked 10 disclose as TO
where he obtained his liquor. The first
one stated that he bought a quart of a
travelling iquor-smuggler in December;
this he had kept by him till the day of
the drunk. when he mixed it with cider,
and the combination was too much for
him. The next one swore that he got his
drunk entirely on cider. He put up
two large casks-one a hundred gallon
mOlasseS barrel-in the fall, put half
bushel of rye into it and was now
drinking the contents; another of the
victims had been invited TO partake of
this cider, and it had made him a little
full" The last two both claimed that
they drank from enc to two pitchers full
of cider. We suppose from outside evil
dence it was the same kind of cider, though
it had been brought to this town and was
of the brother of party who pre-
prepared it. IL Is evident that it is bad CT
der II was put up and ''dOctOred" for
the purpose of putting kick" into it,

The BOYS are pretty sore over the matter,
but they understand full well what the
law is and ought 10 profit by the expe-
rience-
